I have survived. Some of you may remember me. I'm Donny from upstate NY, near Montreal. I've recently recovered from a major battle with brain cancer, which involved actually removing about ¼ pound of gray matter. I've forgotten a lot from the last 10-15 years, but my neurologist, oncologist, and therapist all suggested logging back into some of the sites I used to post in, to try to spark memories.

I only had one replica left after selling everything off to keep us in our home. Also sold both motorcycles, and the motorcycle camper. But it worked! We are still in our home. My wife tells me I was constantly sending out watch parts for free to members that needed something. I*think they were scavenged from broken watches, both my own and some from my old friend Stan, (WBK). We are still in touch.

Other members here I remember because I have a feeling I owe them a great debt. Dave123 and SFA437(?) stick out in my head, though I don't know why. Hopefully it will come back to me as I read through old posts. It will take time.

I ask for patience from all on the forum as I try to rebuild my noodle. I also have a small problem with converting new memories to old, so if I ask the same thing over again, please overlook it. I might not be posting much at first, but as my capacity improves, I'll try to jump in more. I donated $50 to support the forum, and now that the VA has finally recognized my past injuries and illnesses, I'd like to give more.

Sorry I was gone so long.

Donny

I remember you from the past and often wondered what happened to you as you were no longer posting.

WOW - What an ordeal you faced with brain cancer to beat it, go through it, and recover from it. An amazing journey you have gone through.

Welcome back.

If there is anything I can do to help your return back to RG send me a PM and if you are willing send me your phone number so we can talk.

We are hear to help you out with your recovery and journey and look forward to you re establishing yourself on RG.

I recall you posting about your health situation a number of years ago and we were concerned you would not beat brain cancer.

WELL DONE AND KEEP THE FAITH.
